Weddings

Taupō is an unforgettable destination for the most romantic day of your life.

Whether you’re dreaming of a bohemian celebration in a marquee in a forest, an elegant elopement, a lavish party at a luxury lodge, a unique floating wedding on the lake against the backdrop of the mountains, or a traditional church ceremony followed by a rollicking reception for your family and friends.

There are beautiful churches, elegant ballrooms, charming community halls, hotels with full reception packages and expert bespoke wedding planners and caterers – in other words, everything you need to create a perfect wedding day, whatever your guest list or budget.

Taupō might be small, but it’s loaded with talented wedding photographers and videographers. The region’s laid-back lifestyle and natural beauty attracts talented people, so you won’t need to worry about finding the right professional to suit your style.

Many bridal parties visit one of our hot pool and spa resorts to enjoy some pampering together in preparation for the wedding. Soak in the warm and healing mineral waters before enjoying massages, facials, manicures and pedicures.

Giving your guests good food is a way of showing your love and appreciation that they’ve come to celebrate your special day with you. We’ve put together a directory of the Taupō region’s best caterers so you can organise an unforgettable feast for your wedding day.

A good florist will create wedding flowers that perfectly complement your wedding party attire and decorations. You’ll find below a directory of experienced wedding florists who will take the time to understand what you want and ensure they create a beautiful and memorable look for you.
